The document, which Ukrainian representatives submitted to the UN for consideration, proposes to abolish the ban on the activity of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people and provide training in the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages ??on the peninsula. The Government of the Republic considers these claims inappropriate. "The Mejlis is recognized in the Russian Federation as an extremist organization, which is why it was banned. And if the Ukrainian side introduces such a resolution, let it immediately make a resolution on the recognition, for example, of IGIL and other terrorist organizations that have the right to exist on the territory of the UN member states. Because, in fact, this requirement is exactly the same, "- commented on the document, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Polonsky (cited by RT).
As for language requirements, this problem, according to the official, is far-fetched. According to the law on the peninsula, there are three state languages ??- Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean-Tatar. And parents choose in which language the child will receive education.
"There is absolutely no discrimination. Is there a desire for Crimeans to study in one language or another? This is another question. If someone says the opposite, he is simply blatantly lying and pursuing understandable what political goals, "- decree Polonsky.
It is noteworthy that Kiev demanded the introduction of teaching in the Crimean schools in Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar soon after the adoption of the Education Law in the Nezalezhnaya, which implies the prohibition of instruction in schools in the languages ??of national minorities.
The first deputy chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Vladimir Jabarov, advised Ukrainians to deal with human rights in their country, and then go to Russia.
"All this is an attempt to attract attention, tense the situation. You can safely skip this statement past you. It's just not serious.. Moreover, if this resolution passes through the Security Council, naturally, it will be blocked. Well, and so - let them make a noise at the (General) Assembly, on some other committee. I think this is a completely hopeless move, "- quotes the words of the politician RIA" Novosti ".
Political scientist Semyon Uralov believes that Kiev, trying to return the Crimea, has chosen a "strategy of small steps". "That is, to demand one concession, the second, the third. And at the same time to hide behind international organizations, "the expert explained.. The draft resolution on the Crimea is a touchstone:
if it is adopted, then Ukraine will act according to the same scheme.
Ukraine on the eve of the Secretariat of the Third Committee of the UN General Assembly updated the draft resolution on human rights in the Crimea. The document, in particular, stresses "the need for access of international organizations to the occupied Crimea," the Ukrainian mission to the world organization. The draft resolution has allegedly been supported by more than 30 states. Its discussion on the committee will be held in mid-November.
